Default Help with selecting o2 sensors

So i finally hooked my car up to EFI live apparently i have some slow switching o2's upfront Which should be the reason for my terrible gas mileage.

Anyways, Read about Bosch's being shitty? Then i see alot of people recommending Bosch 13111's? I heard alot of good things about AC delco's. Ill be switching to Longtubes in a couple months so dont want to buy some all over again, heard about o2 extensions not being the best route?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I installed some Denso's on my current car(with no extensions), which I am told are the same sensors that AC Delco repackages as their own. I have had no probelm with them with LT's/ORY.

On my 98 M6 TA, and 99 A4 Firehawk I installed the Bosch 13111's, and also had no issues.

Do you have the part number for the denso's you used? There the Corvette rears im guessing since you didn't need extensions? Thanks for replying.

I used the same denso sensors as him with great results. The part number you need for long tubes is 234-4617. They are $49.97 a piece on RockAuto and come with a 1yr warranty.

I'd just run the Bosch vette rear O2's, thats what I have now & they work great. Think they were like $65 each at O'Rielly's.

Those densos also come with more than enough anti seize in the box to install them, so you don't have to worry about buying any.

Yeah on rock auto the denso's were 49.xx each. I had a buddy who worked for autozone and always told me to stay away from bosch stuff, ive seen alot of hit or miss threads on here about bosch dont really want to take the risk. Thanks though.
